Friday diversion – “Potter Rock”

It doesn’t really surprise me to find that people out there are making music based on the Harry Potter universe. What does surprise me is the sheer number of people doing it, and the imagination behind their efforts. Take a peek at a strange assortment of what’s out there, including such acts as:

Draco and the Malfoys

The Whomping Willows

The Parselmouths

The Remus Lupins

The Hermione Crookshanks Experience — my personal favorite!

Be sure to check out some of the amusing song titles! Each band has its own website (or MySpace page, ugh) – I won’t link to them all from here, but feel free to follow them on your own and give ’em each a listen. Some of them aren’t half bad (while a few of them are more than half bad indeed, hahae).

Who is this guy?

I'm an avid writer, both professionally and privately, husband to Jennifer (the most wonderful woman in the world), and dad to two terrific dogs, Max and Leo (only coincidentally named after the two main characters of Mel Brooks's The Producers). I live in Bellevue, Washington, near Lake Sammamish. I think I'm an interesting guy. What do you think? Drop me a line to let me know: visualweasel [at] yahoo.com.
